§ 62-1405. Single-family mobile home cooperative, TRC-1.

The TRC-1 single-family mobile home cooperative zoning classification encompasses lands devoted to planned single-family mobile home development, together with such accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The higher density or compacted lot size is permitted where there are cooperative agreements to ensure up-keep and maintenance of the overall development, including common open space. Provisions satisfactory to the board of county commissioners shall be made to ensure that the overall development shall be perpetually maintained in a satisfactory manner, without expense to county. Approval is to be predicated on the site plan of development showing provision for open space for recreational or other public uses, and the area and location of common open space that will be provided at each stage. Provisions for all common open space and the construction of cultural and recreational facilities which are shown on the site plan shall proceed at an equivalent or greater rate as the construction of dwelling units.
